There has never been a time in my life where a cat has not resided in my home. They are drawn to me and I to them. I love to talk, scratch and pet kitties. And if they allow, my lap is the perfect resting place. I am available for drop ins to your home to feed your kitty cat while you are away. Scooping their box is not a problem. I will text during every visit and send photos should that make you feel comfortable leaving your fur baby. I know how helpful it is when you need to be away from your pet to be reassured they are OK.
